Many diseases are associated with lesions in the central nervous system and thus can mimic multiple sclerosis and potentially lead to a misdiagnosis. This post discusses many conditions that mimic MS and evidence that shows that MS and the diseases that mimic MS are all infectious diseases caused parasites. Prevalence of MS MS affects approximately
Intestinal flukes are more common than we realize. They are large, flat parasitic worms that live in the small intestine and can cause digestive issues, anemia, toxemia, edema, allergic reactions, neurological symptoms and other symptoms of inflammation. This post discusses the symptoms of intestinal flukes, what they look like, how we become infected with
For an MS diagnosis, lesions must be present in the central nervous system (CNS) and they must appear in different parts of the CNS over time. The panel of experts that created the guidelines for MS diagnosis, believe that there is no value in examining the spinal fluid of MS patients for parasites. Yet it
Have you ever wondered how researchers can cause mice to have a condition that is similar to multiple sclerosis when they don’t know what causes MS? Yet after decades of research, we are still no closer to knowing the cause of multiple sclerosis and there is still no cure. MS animal studies may be useful
Is multiple sclerosis caused by a malaria-like parasite? A recent study found that the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) significantly slowed down the progression of disability in people with primary progressive MS (PPMS). This post will discuss: What protists are and how they infect us Highlights of this study Provide compelling evidence linking MS and
The ketogenic diet has gained a lot of attention in the multiple sclerosis community. To learn more about the Keto diet and MS watch my video, “Multiple Sclerosis and the Keto Diet. Will it help?” In this post, I discuss amazing results from researchers who studied a low-carb high-fat diet for multiple sclerosis patients.
